FOREWORD

American National Standards Committee B18 for the standardization of bolts, screws, nuts, rivets and similar fasteners was organized in March 1922, as Sectional Committee B18 under the aegis of the American Engineering Standards Committee (later the American Standards Association, then the United States of American Standards Institute and, as of October 6, 1969, the American National Standards Institute, Inc.), with the Society of Automotive Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as joint sponsors. Subcommittee 2 was subsequently established and charged with the responsibility for technical content of standards covering wrench head bolts and nuts.

At its meeting on December 4, 1974, Committee B18 authorized preparation of a series of standards for metric fasteners. Subcommittee 2 was assigned responsibility for developing standards for metric hex bolts, screws and nuts.

At a meeting on September 22, 1976, Subcommittee 2 organized the contents of a standard covering eight .different hex head screw and boit products. Actual drafting was postponed until ISO/TC:! could reach final decisions relating to basic dimensions and characteristics of hex bolts, screws and nuts. At ISOITC2 meetings held in April 1977, final actions were taken. Committee B18 affirmed the TC2 decisions at a meeting on June 29, 1977 and drafting of this standard was started.

In February 1978, Committee B18 established a cooperative program with the Department of Defense to draft American National Standards for metric fasteners in such a way that they could be used directly by the Government for procurement purposes, The Department of Defense requested that each of the eight products be covered in separate standards, and Subcommittee 2 accepted this approach at its meefing on June 27, 1978.

. .

This standard was approved by letter ballot of Committee B18 on September sequently approved by the secretariat and submitted to the American National designation as an American National Standard. This was granted on April 26, 1979.

ANSI 618.2.3.7M-1979

AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD

METRIC HEAVY HEX STRUCTURAL BOLTS

GENERAL DATA

1. Scope 1.1 This standard covers the complete general and dimensional data for metric heavy hex structural bolts recognized as “American National Standard,”

1.2 The inclusion of dimensional data in t h i s standard is not intended to imply that all of the sizes in conjunction with the various options described herein are stock production items. Consumers are requested to consult with manufacturers concerning lists of stock production heavy hex structural bolts.

1.3 Heavy hex structural bolts purchased for Govern- ment use shall conform to this standard, and addi- tionally to the requirements of Appendix III.

2. Comparison With IS0 Standards

2.1 Heavy hex structural bolts as presented in t h i s standard have been coordinated, to the extent possible, with a draft IS0 proposed standard. The dimensional differences between this ANSI standard and the IS0 proposal are few, relatively minor, and none will affect the functional interchangeability of bolts manufactured to the requirements of either.

The following functional characteristics of bolts are in agreement between this ANSI standard and the IS0 proposal:

Diameters and thread pitches (see 24) Body diameters Widths across flats Bearing surface diameters Head heights Thread lengths (see 2.3) Thread dimensions Nominal lengths

2.2 There will be two IS0 standards for heavy hex structural bolts, with the only difference between them being length of thread. This ANSI standard is essentially identical to the proposed IS0 standard for bolts with the shorter thread lengths.

2.3 Letter symbols designating dimensional characteristics are in accord with those used in IS0 standards, except capitals have been used for data processing convenience instead of lower case letters used in IS0 standards.

3. Dimensions

3.1 All dimensions in this standard are in milli- meters, unless stated otherwise.

3.2 Symbols specifying geometric characteristics are in accord with American National Standard, Dimen- sioning and Tolerancing, ANSI Y14.5-1973.

4. Top of Head. The’ top of head shall be full form and chamfered or rounded. The diameter of the chamfer circle or the start of rounding shall .be equal to the -maximum width across flats within a tolerance of minus 15 percent.

5. Head Height. The head height is the distance, as measured parallel to the axis of the bolt, from the top of the head to the under head bearing surface.

6. Wrenching Height. The wrenching height is the distance, measured at a corner of the hex, from the plane of the bearing surface to the last plane of full formed hex, i.e., the plane closest to the top of head at which the width across corners of the hex is within its specified limits.

7. Corner Fill. The rounding due to lack of fill at the six comers of the head shall be reasonably uniform.

AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD METRIC HEAVY HEX STRUCTURAL BOLTS

8. True Position of Head. The axis of the hex head shall be located at true position with respect to the axis of the bolt (determined over a distance under the head equal to 'one bolt diameter) within a tolerance zone of diameter equal to 6 percent of the specified maximum width across flats.

9. Bearing Surface. The bearing surface shall be flat and washer faced. However, a die seam across the bearing face shall be permissible. Diameter of bearing surface shall not exceed the width across flats nor be less than the specified minimum washer face diameter. For referee purposes, measurement of bearing surface diameter shall be taken at mid thickness of the washer face. The plane of the bearing surface shall

' be perpendicular to the axis of the body within the total runout specified in Table 1 . The measurement of bearing face runout shall be made as close to the periphery of the washer face as possible while the bolt is held in a collet or other gripping device at a distance equal to one bolt diameter from the underside of the head. Angularity measurement shall be taken at a location to avoid interference from a die seam.

I O . Body Diameter

10.1 Bolts shall be furnished with a full diameter body within the limits specified in Table l .

10.2 There may be a reasonable swell, fin, or die seam on the body adjacent to the underside of head not to exceed the nominal bolt diameter by the following:

1.25 mm for M16 1 S O mm for M20 thru M30 2.30 mm for M36

11. Fillet. The fillet at junction of head and shank shall be a smooth concave curve within an envelope of R minimum, and a smooth multiradius curve tangent to the underside of head at a point no greater than one-half of Da maximum from the axis of the bolt and tangent to the shank of the bolt at a distance no greater than F maximum from the underside of head.

12. Length. Recommended lengths of bolts are given in Table 2. The length of the bolt shall be measured parallel to the axis of the bolt from the under head bearing surface to the extreme end of the shank. Length tolerances shall be as specified in Table 3.

2

ANSI B18.2.3.7M-1979

13. Points. The end of the bolt shall be chamfered from a diameter equal to or slightly less than the thread root diameter to produce a length of chamfer or incomplete thread within the limits for Z specified 'in Table 4. The end of the bolt shall be reasonably square with the axis of bolt, and where pointed blanks are used, the slight rim or cup resulting from roll threading shall be permissible. At the manufacturer's option, the end of the bolt may have a rounded point of radius V as specified in Table 4.

14. Straightness. Shanks of bolts shall be straight within a maximum camber of 0.006 mm/mm of bolt length for bolts having nominal lengths of 300 mm or shorter; and within 0.008 mm/mm of bolt length for bolts having nominal lengths over 300mm. The referee gage and gaging procedure for checking bolt straightness are given in Appendix I.

15. Thread Length

15.1 The length of thread on bolts shall be controlled by the maximum grip gaging length (Lg) and the minimum body length (h) as set forth in 15.2 thru 15.5.

15.2 Grip gaging length, Lg max, is the distance measured parallel to the axis of the bolt, from the under head bearing surface to the face of a non- counterbored or noncountersunk standard GO thread ring gage assembled by hand as far as the thread will permit. For standard diameter-length combinations of bolts the values for Lg max are specified in Table 2. For diameter-length combinations not fisted in Table 2, the maximum grip gaging length, as calculated and rounded to one decimal place, shall be equal to the noniinal bold length, L, minus the basic thread length, B, as specified in Table 1 (Lg max = L - B). Lg max shall be used as a criterion for inspection.

15.3 Body length, Ls min, is the distance, measured parallel to the axis of the bolt, from the under head bearing surface to the last scratch of thread or the top of the extrusion angle, whichever k closest to the head. For standard diameter-length combinations of bolts the values of Ls min are given in Table 2. For diameter-length combinations not listed in Table 2, the minimum body length, as calculated and rounded to one decimal place, is equal to the maximum grip gaging length (as computed) minus the maximum transition thread length as given in Table 1 (h min =



--`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

AS[E B 3 8 . 2 * 3 - 7 M 7 7


Lg max - X max). Ls min shall be used 2s a criterion for inspection. Bolts of nominal lengths which have a calculated Ls min value equal to or less than the length of 2.5 times the thread pitch shall be threaded full length. Bolts which are threaded full length shall have a minimum body length under the head equal to F as specified in Table l .

15.4 Basic thread length, B, as specified in Table 1 is a reference dimension intended for calculation purposes only, and is the distance, measued parallel to the axis of the bolt, from the extreme end of the bolt to the last complete (full form) thread.

15.5 Transition thread length, X max, as specified in Table 1 is a reference dimension intended for calculation purposes only. It includes the length of incomplete threads and tolerances on grip gaging length and body length. The transition from full thread to incomplete thread shall be smooth and uniform, The major diameter of the incomplete threads shall not exceed the actual major diameter of the complete (full form) threads.

16. Thread Series. Threads shall be metric coarse thread series conforming to dimensions for general purpose external .threads given in ANSI B1.13, The class 6g tolerance shall apply to plain finish (unplated or uncoated) bolts, and to plated or coated bolts be- fore plating or coating.

17. Material and Mechanical Properties. Chemical composition and mechanical requirements of steel bolts shall conform to ASTM A325M or ASTM A490M.

Note

These two ASTM standards are under de- velopment. Mechanical properties of A325M bolts are essentially the same as SAE J1 199 property class 8.8, and those of A490M essentially the same as SAE J1 199 property class 10.9.-

18. Finish. Unless otherwise specified, screws and bolts shall be supplied with a natural (as processed) finish, unplated or uncoated.

19. Identification Symbols. Steel bolts shall be marked with the grade identification symbols and with the manufacturer's identification symbol. Mini- mum height of property class symbols shall be 4.0

0757670 0043353 3 m

ANSI B18.2.3.7M-1979

mm. Markings shall be located on the top of the head and may be raised or recessed unless otherwise ordered by the purchaser. When raised, markings shall project not less than 0.3 mm above the surface of the head, and total head height (head plus markings) shall not exceed the specified maximum head height plus 0.4 mm. 20. Options. Options, where specified, shall be at the discretion of the manufacturer unless otherwise agreed upon by the manufacturer and the purchaser.

21. Terminology. For definition of terms relating to fasteners or component features thereof used in this standard, refer to American National Standard, Glos- sary of Terms for Mechanical Fasteners, ANSI B18.12.

22. Workmanship. Bolts shall not contain an excess of surface imperfections which might affect their ser- viceability, such as burrs, seams, laps, loose scale and other irregularities.

23. Clearance Holes. The recommended sizes of clearance holes in material to be assembled using heavy hex structural bolts are the normal series given in Appendix II.

24. Designation

24.1 Heavy hex structural bolts shall be designated by the following data preferably in the sequence shown: product name, 'nominal diameter and thread pitch, nominal length, steel property class, and protective coating, if required.

Note

. It is common practice in IS0 standards to omit thread pitch from the product size designation when screw threads are the metric coarse thread series, e.g., M20 is M20 x 2.5.'

Examples: Heavy hex structural bolt, M22 x 2.5 x 160, ASTM

Heavy hex structural bolt, M24 x 3 x 80, ASTh4 A325M, zinc galvanized

A490M.

24.2 The Government part numbering system for metric heavy hex structural bolts is given in Appendix III.

APPENDIX I

BOLT STRAIGHTNESS REFEREE GAGE AND GAGING PROCEDURE 3

The conformance of bolts to shank straightness or camber limitations set forth in the respective product standards shall be checked by using the gage illustrated below in accordance with the following procedure:

Allowable total camber on the product to be in- spected shall be calculated by multiplying the specified permissible camber per mm of length by the product length expressed as a one place decimal. The total camber thus derived shall be added to the specified maximum body diameter exclusive of allowance for swell or fin under head and the adjustable rail of gage shall be adjusted to provide a parallel space between.

the rails equal to this distance by obtaining common readings on both micrometer heads. The adjustable rail shall then be locked in place by tightening securing screws.

The product shall then be inserted between rails, excluding from the gage any permissible length of swell or fillet under the head. The product shall be rotated by hand through full 360 deg. Any interference occurring between the product and the gage which is sufficient to prevent rotation shall indicate excessive camber.
